Every chance you get, say “fuck you” to authoritarian demands. One of the regime’s tools is making people believe resistance is futile—that acquiescence is the only option. But especially for those with power and privilege, the most basic, necessary act is to say: FUCK YOU.

I finished reading @sarahebond.bsky.social's "Strike: Labor, Unions, and Resistance in the Roman Empire" last week and it was *fantastic*. Just a really great effort to dig into what life was like for non-elites in the Roman Empire. 💙📚 🗃️
